Clinton said the other night on “Larry King Live” that in 1998’s Operation Desert Fox he may have destroyed all of Saddam’s WMD: “We might have gotten it all; we might have gotten half of it; we might have gotten none of it.” None is probably close to the right answer. Kenneth Pollack writes in The Threatening Storm of those 1998 attacks: “the fact was that only 11 of the ninety-seven targets attacked were WMD facilities because the administration generally did not know where Iraq was concealing its WMD programs.”
